Hi! So much to know and so little space to write. ;) My friends have described me as a natural cheerleader. I'm a tell it like it is kind of lady (I find it hard to lie). I have 3 furry kids (1 dog; 2 cats). I love to read and hate running (although I know it's good for you).

I became a Thyroid Cancer Survivor July '09. Now, I'm trying to get back at a healthier weight. It's a struggle.

Hi! So much to know and so little space to write. ;) My friends have described me as a natural cheerleader. I'm a tell it like it is kind of lady (I find it hard to lie). I have 3 furry kids (1 dog; 2 cats). I love to read and hate running (although I know it's good for you).

I became a Thyroid Cancer Survivor July '09. Now, I'm trying to get back at a healthier weight. It's a struggle.

My Goals:
1. To be consistent with healthy eating 2. To be consistent with exercise 3.To lose weight so I can get off this stupid cholesterol medicine

My Program:
I'm recording all of my food (even the bad ones) to be accountable and to see where I'm sabotoging my efforts.

I've started the beachbody DVD series a few times. I have yet to get through week 2.

I walk with my dog several times a week, which helps me get some exercise.

Personal Information:
I'm from Sterling, VA.

I was born and raised in New Orleans, which is why I love food.

Other Information:
My job & night courses keep my free time limited & I tend to want to catch up on sleep or my 5 TV shows rather than exercise late at night. My hurdle is getting up in the morning to exercise. I have a love-hate relationship with my alarm clock.

Thanks for adding me as a friend. I also am struggling with the weight loss after the tyroid cancer treatment. I still need to lose five-ten pounds to get back to my precancer weight ! But we will make it! Buddies make it better and easier. Thanks for adding me.

Thanks for adding me as your friend - and I have done the same! Being thyroid cancer survivors is - in my opinion - a unique situation, and "normal" people can not fathom what we have to go through to be survivors. I look forward to having you as a buddy!

Hello Sally, Thank you for your comment on my page. My doctors changing my medications still. I have a blog on a medication is metformin I would like for you to read....

Take care, talk to you soon and have a nice weekend. Always , ERNA

Hello Sally, I'm a cancer survivor for the 5th yr. in a row too. I had thyroid cancer also and my doctor caught it in the early stages. I did not have to take chemo either. We can do this and help others. Have a nice weekend, take care and talk to you soon. Always, ERNA
